Mouth breathing baby-toddler
My toddler is now 2 years old but since birth he’s been a mouth breather. His mouth is open a lot when he sleeps. From the beginning I always mentioned it to the health visitor, midwives and doctors. Even now at age 2 and they keep telling me he’ll grow out of it bc his glands might be too big for him right now? Has anyone else had this with their child? I really don’t know what to do or who to go to
Hi, not sure where you are or what resources might be available to you. Mouth breathing is absolutely something you should be concerned about, and absolutely something that can be resolved now. My first recommendation would be the book "Breathe, Sleep, Thrive" by Dr Shereen Lim 2nd, find an airway health focused dentist/hygienist 3rd, find an oral myofunctional therapist
